Details

“This book is based on careful and in-depth ethnographic research, and it expertly embeds its findings in patterns on broader historical and geographical scales. The book displays all the hallmarks of high-quality anthropological research.” • Stef Jansen, University of Sarajevo

In today’s globalized world, where the foundations of home and social security are destabilized due to wars and neoliberal transformations, the villagers of Kosovo are linked with a common locality despite living across borders. By tracing long-distant family relations with a special focus on cross-border marriages, this study looks at the reconfiguration of care relations, gender and generational roles among kin-members of Kosovo, who now live in different European states.

Carolin Leutloff-Grandits is a Senior Researcher of Social Anthropology at the European University Viadrina. Her recent publications include the co-edited volume Migrating Borders and Moving Times (Manchester University Press, 2017) with Madeleine Hurd and Hastings Donnan.
